Biography
Seattle, United States (1992 – 1995, 1997 – 2000, 2009 – present)
The core of Sunny Day Real Estate formed in 1992, originally under the name Empty Set. Empty Set consisted of Dan Hoerner (guitar, vocals), Nate Mendel (bass), and William Goldsmith (drums). A 7-inch called Flatland Spider was released. Mendel took a break to tour with another band, Hoerner took over the bass, and the group was joined by Jeremy Enigk, a high school friend of Goldsmith. Before long, Enigk ascended as the permanent frontman of the band. Where Hoerner’s vocal style had been in the rougher, hardcore vein, Enigk’s higher-pitched, somewhat strained vocal style added greater emotional depth to the band’s songs. Another 7-inch, Thief, Steal Me a Peach in 1993.
The band’s debut album, Diary, released by indie label Sub Pop in 1994, was greeted with numerous positive reviews. That September, the band performed lead single “Seven” on an episode of The Jon Stewart Show. A few days later, they taped several songs for MTV’s 120 Minutes. Through November and December, the band undertook a US tour with Shudder To Think and Soul Coughing in support of the album.

I've never even listened to the Rising Tide. Maybe I should.

I think it's considered their best because of the impact it had when it was released, It was one of the forerunners for the emo genre, them and Jawbreaker.

Yotimi
Agree. How it Feels is by far my favorite though. Never understood how Diary is generally considered their best.

The Rising Tide gets dismissed far too easily. Such a good album.
